Thinking of Getting Solar at Your Place? Let’s take a look at the benefits.

Keen to save money on your electricity bills?
Interested in reducing your carbon footprint?
Want to increase the value of your home?

These are some of the benefits of residential solar power. If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider installing solar panels.

Australia gets plenty of sunshine all year round. In fact, our continent receives more sunlight than any other making harnessing solar energy super feasible. It makes sense that Aussie homes are taking full advantage of the benefits of solar energy. The growth of rooftop and residential solar systems is evidence of the renewable energy transformation.

Let’s take a look at some of the standout benefits of installing solar panels on your home.

• First off, let’s talk about the green factor and how you can help make a positive difference for the planet. Solar panels are like the superheroes of the energy world. They harness the power of the sun, a clean and renewable energy source, to generate electricity for your home. By going solar, you reduce your greenhouse gas emissions plus your carbon footprint, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
• Solar panels can help you lower your energy costs by generating free and clean electricity which you can use to power your home and reduce your reliance on the grid. Depending on your location, usage, and system size, you could save up to 80% on your electricity bills with solar panels. Let’s face it, the rising cost of living hurts and the sky-rocketing costs of elctricity and gas makes the idea of significantly cheaper power bills so enticing.
• Energy independence is another perk. With a working solar system at your place, you’re no longer at the mercy of power companies (and their fluctuating rates!). With solar panels, you control your energy destiny. Imagine the peace of mind knowing that you have a reliable source of power, even during grid outages.
• Solar panels can also help you earn money by selling your excess electricity back to the grid. This is called a feed-in tariff, and the tariff varies depending on your retailer (and state). Some states offer generous incentives for solar power producers, which can help you pay off your system faster and increase your return on investment.
• Solar panels can also boost the value of your home by making it more attractive to potential buyers. Studies have shown that homes with solar panels sell faster and for higher prices than homes without them. This is because buyers are willing to pay more for a home that has lower running costs and a smaller environmental impact.
• Solar panels require minimal maintenance. They are durable and require little upkeep. Just a yearly checkup to ensure they’re in top shape, and you’re good to go. They can last for decades, making them a wise investment in your home’s future.
• Lastly, let’s not forget that solar panels can also boost the value of your home by making it more attractive to potential buyers. Buyers are placing higher value on homes that have lower running costs and a smaller environmental impact. Matt Hansen one of Dubbo’s leading real estate agents says properties with solar solutions are popular not only with buyers but also investors and tenants:

“Solar-equipped properties are favoured by investors and tenants. Landlords benefit from a more rentable property and their tenants stay longer because they are enjoying lower power bills“.
